Introduction and Lesson Overview

Are you ready for another exciting journey? Today's mission involves understanding the break and continue commands. The break command immediately ends a loop regardless of the defined condition, while the continue command bypasses the remaining loop iteration and jumps straight to the next one.

We'll start by mastering these controls using simple for and while loops before delving into the complexity of nested loops.

Commanding Single 'for' Loop Control — The Break Statement

Remember the for loop? Its iteration continues until a condition is met. Let's meet a new friend — break. Once encountered, the loop stops, no matter what!

To understand better, let's think of a treasure hunt, where each box is a loop iteration. Opening a box executes the loop, and finding treasure (break) halts the opening spree. Here's how it works in JavaScript:
